5G is here. What that means and how you can get it

Ushering in the mobile 5G era, AT&T announced that it will start selling a 5G wireless hotspot. It can offer speeds up to 400 megabits per second, which is way faster than most home broadband connections and between 10 and 100 times faster than 4G, depending on network conditions.

Verizon beat AT&T to the punch earlier this year. Its 5G Home device works like a home broadband router, receiving Verizon's 5G signal and converting it into Wi-Fi.
